Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups diced cucumber, 1 cup diced tomato, ½ cup diced red bell pepper, ¼ cup diced red onion, ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and ¼ teaspoon sea salt. Mix well and set aside.

  2. Step 2.

    In a separate medium bowl, combine 2 cups cooked chickpeas, 1 teaspoon za’atar, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, ¼ teaspoon sea salt, and ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to coat the chickpeas evenly.

  3. Step 3.

    To assemble each bowl, place half of the cucumber salad, half of the za’atar chickpeas, 1 cup cooked quinoa, and 2 tablespoons pitted kalamata olives in each bowl. Garnish each with a lemon wedge and serve with ¼ cup Lemon-Tahini Dressing on the side.
